Congress thwarted a government shutdown that would kick in at midnight on Thursday after both chambers swiftly passed a short-term spending bill, sending the measure to the White House for President Joe Biden’s signature just hours before federal cash expires.
The House passed the stopgap bill Thursday afternoon, just a few hours after the Senate approved the bill in a 65-35 vote. The continuing resolution would keep spending levels static for both the military and non-defense programs, buying Congress until Dec. 3 to either work out a broader deal on new funding totals or yet another temporary patch.
